Cons

You get let go due to "budget reasons" after two years, but then find out they have a hiring spree two weeks later and said that you could apply again. That makes zero sense dumb people. Just keep me on and release the new people that I just trained to bring into the company. Thank you for letting go of a solid worker and trainer for your company.

Advice to Management

Not that you'll read it, but it gets old hearing them talk about how creative and innovate they are while we sell products that can't compete in the market because they are wayyy too expensive or too wildly inefficient. Invest in a lead system that doesn't involve your reps calling the same HR departments every single week. Also, stop hiring people in operations to management positions in sales, who clearly know nothing...

Poor training (she's arrogant and loves herself almost as much as Kanye loves himself). INCREDIBLY boring. Cold calling to company's human resources departments (nearly all of which consider you a waste of their time) terrible pay, vague requirements from superiors who expect unattainable goals. Awful all in all.
